Stepped Brick Veneer - How Are Others Doing It?

[artitech]

I was wondering how others are achieving a stepping exterior brick veneer on buildings?

Say you have a brick and stucco wall, the brick height varies. Say it steps down from a height of 6'-8" three times in incriments of 24" with a stucco finish above the brick....

I know stacked walls can be used to do this, but would I need to create three differnet stacked wall types to achieve this?

edit the elevatio profile of the brick wall, then pick your stucco wall above and attach its bottom to your brick wall, it will drop right into place.

That is slick... thanks for the tidbit (not to be mistaken for a Tim Bit).

I should have mentioned.... it's a stacked wall type. I tried it witha stacked wall type, and I suppose the result is obvious.... it didn't work.

Is it best to leave these as two separate wall types then, or is there a trick to doing the same with a stacked wall type?

Yes break your walls up. much more flexibility, stacked walls are fine for straight walls with lots of hor. materail changes, as soon as you need to change vertically you need to break them up.
